Cheers Dan, you'll want to check out Frank's page on dead MP 130s:

Cheers Robert, there's some handy stuff around, maybe you mean
FixTrax 1.0 http://www.config.de/Products/Newton/FixTrax/default.htm
Also handy:
IndexFixer http://www.modasys.de/htmls/newton/
Come to think of it - what would belong into a NOS 2.0, MP 1x0 (and better)
First Aid Kit on a separate mem card?
Surely the two items above, plus maybe
NewtTest http://www.pda-soft.de/body_newttest.html
DataRescue http://download.planetnewton.com/download/util/Info%20Transfer.htm
NamesFixer http://download.planetnewton.com/download/util/notes8.htm
PrefsCleaner http://download.planetnewton.com/download/util/Security14.htm
A freeze Package - which + why this one?
CardEject http://www.sbm.nu/englisch/newton/cardeject
What do you folks think of this selection? Any additions? (Probably been
discussed before -couldn't find anything, tho) How would a "Norton
Utilities"-bundle for Newton look like?
Submissions for NOS 1.x and 2.1 also welcome - pls. DO specify which OS
your suggested package feels comfortable with.
Have a nice weekend,
DJV.
